That was bonkers

Thanks for the reminder. I had seen the trailer for it and knew it was coming.
Travis has managed to do a few things that Ken Block hasn't done yet, like get a rear wheel totally off of the edge rather than touching the edge, plus the high speed stuff. They've discussed a possible set of "rivalry" videos with Ken and Travis trying to outdo each other. Should be fun.
I've been watching quite a bit of Ken Block's stuff lately and enjoying it. There is a set of videos called This vs That, and This vs That Hoonicorn. They do some drag racing with the 1400 hp AWD Mustang against a bunch of fast cars and trucks. You'll have to watch it to see who wins.
Just type Gymkhana [1-10] for all of the stuff Ken Block has done. It's interesting to see how he progresses and once he finds something cool, like flying sideways off of a jump, manages to fit it into all subsequent videos.

Well Block has that legendary poker face that never shows emotion, following him pretty much anyone would be more expressive. But yeah, you can see both the focus and the awareness of risky situations painted all over his mug moment by moment.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Reignited my desire for a WRX STI pretty dang badly.

I bet they kept getting closer to the edge until it happened. I've seen out takes from Ken Block runs and they'll go half a dozen times until they're right on the edge of safety. Look at the Pikes Peak run where the Hoonicorn is off in the dirt with a huge drop down a steep slope if they went just a tiny bit further.
Oh, and they had divers ready in the water in the San Francisco run, in case he went off the edge of the barge out in the bay.

You mean off the dock? The one with the 5 Go Pro cameras catching just the front of it?
I'm guessing it was planned.
So, is that second stick a rear brake control to handle the sliding. One is obviously the gear shifter, so I assume the other is a hand brake.
Makes me want to watch the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" again. See some Eleanor action.

All of the rally and drift cars have those. It locks the rear tires just enough to get the car sideways. It has the long handle so that it doesn't require as much effort for the driver.

That rear wing has some impact holding it flat thru the air, it moves fast.
From out of the past, wheel off the dock, skate board move from working an empty pool, grinding above the coping.
Surfing, snowboarding, too
That was "Bond" impressive though, daannng impressive

I'd guess that any one of those segments had anywhere between 25 and 40 gopros. Any of those shots would have still been valid even if the wheel didn't dropoff.
Maybe planned, maybe not. Likely soemthing closer to what ScottRNelson suggested of "hey get the wheel as close to the edge of the dock as you can" and then they got that shot and said "ok maybe lets move onto the next scene before this gets really expensive"

Now, perhaps I'm being naive, but was this a bunch of stunts cut together, or was it one long single run, albeit well documented and edited?
No doubt it was well rehearsed, but seems to me this was a single run that was recorded. ("Filmed" doesn't seem quite right.)

I think a lot of the stunts are done in multiple takes
ScottRNelson
Mr. Dual Sport Rider
There are YouTube videos showing how some of the Gymkhana videos were done and which stunts got something good on the first take and which took a bunch to get right. You can look at the tire marks to get an idea of how many times they tried it before the one you see. They'll do one section, then get ready for another.
So yes, it is edited together to look like one run, but that's generally now how it happens. I think there was one big parking lot course that they wanted to do all in one take, but that's not how it generally goes.
